Over 30 years of retirement, Highland would collect as much as $3.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Highland received $70,778 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Highland will have already received $143,679 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
