Over 30 years of retirement, Scarbeary would collect as much as $3.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Scarbeary received $64,934 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Scarbeary will have already received $200,704 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
