Over 30 years of retirement, Brandon would collect as much as $109,168, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes NW Illinois News.
The projection assumes Brandon received $2,294 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Brandon will have already received $9,598 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
