Over 30 years of retirement, Brown would collect as much as $459,298, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Grundy Reporter.
The projection assumes Brown received $9,654 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Brown will have already received $40,389 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
