Over 30 years of retirement, St John would collect as much as $837,997, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.
The projection assumes St John received $17,614 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, St John will have already received $73,689 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
