Over 30 years of retirement, Reining would collect as much as $1.18 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Reining received $24,813 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Reining will have already received $103,808 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
