Over 30 years of retirement, Egleton would collect as much as $2.82 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Egleton received $59,218 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Egleton will have already received $183,038 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
