Over 30 years of retirement, Savage would collect as much as $3.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Savage received $68,391 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Savage will have already received $211,390 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
