Over 30 years of retirement, Franseen would collect as much as $3.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Franseen received $66,230 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Franseen will have already received $204,711 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
