Over 30 years of retirement, Felty would collect as much as $1.88 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes SE Illinois News.
The projection assumes Felty received $39,619 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Felty will have already received $122,459 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
