Over 30 years of retirement, Gavin would collect as much as $3.78 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Gavin received $79,406 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gavin will have already received $161,194 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
