Over 30 years of retirement, Painter would collect as much as $3.85 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Painter received $80,964 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Painter will have already received $164,357 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
