Over 30 years of retirement, Claudnic would collect as much as $3.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Claudnic received $71,035 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Claudnic will have already received $144,201 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
