Over 30 years of retirement, Rhodes would collect as much as $646,116, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.
The projection assumes Rhodes received $13,580 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Rhodes will have already received $41,974 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
