Over 30 years of retirement, Richardson would collect as much as $370,243, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Richardson received $7,782 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Richardson will have already received $15,797 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
