Over 30 years of retirement, Carr would collect as much as $239,648, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Carr received $5,037 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Carr will have already received $15,569 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
