Over 30 years of retirement, Tattersall would collect as much as $309,230, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Tattersall received $6,499 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Tattersall will have already received $13,193 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
