Over 30 years of retirement, Shreve would collect as much as $173,372, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Shreve received $3,644 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Shreve will have already received $11,263 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
