Over 30 years of retirement, Bolin would collect as much as $1.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Bolin received $24,659 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Bolin will have already received $103,165 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
