Over 30 years of retirement, Kamen would collect as much as $1.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Kamen received $24,232 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Kamen will have already received $128,651 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
