Over 30 years of retirement, Jordan would collect as much as $2.53 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Jordan received $53,172 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Jordan will have already received $164,349 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
