Over 30 years of retirement, Wicks would collect as much as $2.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Wicks received $42,223 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wicks will have already received $130,508 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
