Over 30 years of retirement, Kovacik would collect as much as $123,389, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Kovacik received $2,593 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kovacik will have already received $8,015 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
