Over 30 years of retirement, Rogers would collect as much as $712,820, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Rogers received $14,982 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Rogers will have already received $30,413 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
