Over 30 years of retirement, Medema would collect as much as $3.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Medema received $74,990 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Medema will have already received $231,787 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
