Over 30 years of retirement, Spellacy would collect as much as $419,375, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Spellacy received $8,814 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Spellacy will have already received $17,892 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
