Over 30 years of retirement, Horvath would collect as much as $1.86 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Horvath received $39,029 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Horvath will have already received $163,283 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
