Over 30 years of retirement, Romero would collect as much as $503,012, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Romero received $10,572 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Romero will have already received $21,461 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
