Over 30 years of retirement, Regan would collect as much as $4.43 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Regan received $93,133 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Regan will have already received $189,060 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
