Over 30 years of retirement, Van Duyne would collect as much as $2.36 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Van Duyne received $49,569 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Van Duyne will have already received $207,379 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
