Over 30 years of retirement, McLaughlin would collect as much as $2.05 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes McLaughlin received $43,140 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, McLaughlin will have already received $133,341 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
