Over 30 years of retirement, Day would collect as much as $3.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Day received $80,628 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Day will have already received $249,213 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
