Over 30 years of retirement, Locascio would collect as much as $317,394, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Southern Illinois News.
The projection assumes Locascio received $6,671 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Locascio will have already received $20,619 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
