Over 30 years of retirement, Ryan would collect as much as $6.94 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Ryan received $145,839 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Ryan will have already received $296,053 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
