Over 30 years of retirement, Howell would collect as much as $481,672, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes SE Illinois News.
The projection assumes Howell received $10,124 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Howell will have already received $31,293 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
