Over 30 years of retirement, Montfort would collect as much as $1.02 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Montfort received $21,541 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Montfort will have already received $90,120 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
