Over 30 years of retirement, Hankins would collect as much as $4.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Grundy Reporter.
The projection assumes Hankins received $91,812 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hankins will have already received $186,378 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
