Over 30 years of retirement, Ferry would collect as much as $4.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.
The projection assumes Ferry received $92,807 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ferry will have already received $286,857 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
