Over 30 years of retirement, Brand would collect as much as $1.67 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Brand received $35,186 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Brand will have already received $108,757 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
