Over 30 years of retirement, Stouffer would collect as much as $4.54 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Stouffer received $95,349 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Stouffer will have already received $193,558 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
