Over 30 years of retirement, Neff would collect as much as $523,325, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Neff received $10,999 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Neff will have already received $46,016 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
