Over 30 years of retirement, Blomgren would collect as much as $81,747, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Blomgren received $1,718 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Blomgren will have already received $3,488 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
