Over 30 years of retirement, Staley would collect as much as $1.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Staley received $38,599 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Staley will have already received $119,306 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
