Over 30 years of retirement, Fredrickson would collect as much as $1.64 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Fredrickson received $34,564 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Fredrickson will have already received $106,834 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
