Over 30 years of retirement, Johnson would collect as much as $3.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Johnson received $79,821 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Johnson will have already received $162,037 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
