Over 30 years of retirement, Oest would collect as much as $8.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Oest received $170,489 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Oest will have already received $346,093 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
