Over 30 years of retirement, Driver would collect as much as $1.02 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Driver received $21,417 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Driver will have already received $89,603 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
