Over 30 years of retirement, Meyer would collect as much as $542,685, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Meyer received $11,406 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Meyer will have already received $47,717 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
