Over 30 years of retirement, Teffertiller would collect as much as $2.95 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes SE Illinois News.
The projection assumes Teffertiller received $62,111 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Teffertiller will have already received $191,978 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
