Over 30 years of retirement, Bryant would collect as much as $972,205, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Bryant received $20,435 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bryant will have already received $63,162 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
