Over 30 years of retirement, Diaz would collect as much as $432,677, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Diaz received $9,094 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Diaz will have already received $38,046 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
