Over 30 years of retirement, Runge would collect as much as $886,295, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Runge received $18,629 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Runge will have already received $77,938 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
