Over 30 years of retirement, Leonhardt would collect as much as $3.91 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Leonhardt received $82,219 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Leonhardt will have already received $254,132 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
