Over 30 years of retirement, Ogden would collect as much as $3.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Ogden received $63,242 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ogden will have already received $195,474 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
