Over 30 years of retirement, Verhines would collect as much as $2.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Verhines received $50,058 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Verhines will have already received $154,725 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
