Over 30 years of retirement, Lathom would collect as much as $679,742, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Lathom received $14,287 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Lathom will have already received $59,772 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
