Over 30 years of retirement, Wood would collect as much as $982,179, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Wood received $20,644 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Wood will have already received $86,366 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
