Over 30 years of retirement, Arne would collect as much as $248,246, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes NW Illinois News.
The projection assumes Arne received $5,217 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Arne will have already received $5,217 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
