Over 30 years of retirement, Carusona would collect as much as $616,605, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Carusona received $12,960 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Carusona will have already received $54,219 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
