Over 30 years of retirement, Rainey would collect as much as $3.5 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Rainey received $73,475 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Rainey will have already received $227,103 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
