Over 30 years of retirement, Tenhoopen would collect as much as $149,628, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Tenhoopen received $3,145 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Tenhoopen will have already received $6,384 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
