Over 30 years of retirement, Bender would collect as much as $1.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Bender received $40,267 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Bender will have already received $168,462 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
