Over 30 years of retirement, Henshaw would collect as much as $2.59 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes SE Illinois News.
The projection assumes Henshaw received $54,523 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Henshaw will have already received $168,526 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
