Over 30 years of retirement, Gray would collect as much as $4.35 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Gray received $91,509 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gray will have already received $282,845 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
