Over 30 years of retirement, Turner would collect as much as $4.21 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Turner received $88,507 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Turner will have already received $179,669 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
