Over 30 years of retirement, Bonner would collect as much as $4.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Bonner received $101,739 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bonner will have already received $314,465 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
