Over 30 years of retirement, Lang would collect as much as $2.86 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Lang received $60,102 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Lang will have already received $122,007 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
