Over 30 years of retirement, Anderson would collect as much as $2.93 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Anderson received $61,683 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Anderson will have already received $190,655 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
