Over 30 years of retirement, Ladd would collect as much as $3.31 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Ladd received $69,581 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ladd will have already received $215,067 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
