Over 30 years of retirement, Bedoya would collect as much as $157,153, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Bedoya received $3,303 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Bedoya will have already received $21,364 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
