Over 30 years of retirement, Wade would collect as much as $1.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Wade received $38,149 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Wade will have already received $159,600 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
