Over 30 years of retirement, Blinstrup would collect as much as $917,118, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Blinstrup received $19,277 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Blinstrup will have already received $80,648 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
