Over 30 years of retirement, Bammann would collect as much as $2.83 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Bammann received $59,482 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bammann will have already received $183,852 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
