Over 30 years of retirement, French would collect as much as $2.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes French received $42,758 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, French will have already received $132,161 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
