Over 30 years of retirement, Evens would collect as much as $43,234, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Evens received $908 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Evens will have already received $3,798 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
