Over 30 years of retirement, Zamis would collect as much as $676,345, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Zamis received $14,216 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Zamis will have already received $59,472 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
