Over 30 years of retirement, Hougan would collect as much as $3.3 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Hougan received $69,331 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hougan will have already received $214,295 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
