Over 30 years of retirement, Werner would collect as much as $1.18 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Werner received $24,820 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Werner will have already received $50,385 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
