Over 30 years of retirement, Regan would collect as much as $1.77 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Regan received $37,246 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Regan will have already received $115,123 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
