Over 30 years of retirement, Fulton would collect as much as $830,141, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Fulton received $17,448 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Fulton will have already received $72,994 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
