Over 30 years of retirement, Quivey would collect as much as $3.66 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes SW Illinois News.
The projection assumes Quivey received $76,872 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Quivey will have already received $156,050 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
