Over 30 years of retirement, Day would collect as much as $412,136, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Day received $8,662 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Day will have already received $36,240 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
