Over 30 years of retirement, Low would collect as much as $471,367, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Low received $9,907 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Low will have already received $41,446 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
