Over 30 years of retirement, Tindell would collect as much as $357,038, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Tindell received $7,504 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Tindell will have already received $15,233 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
