Within 7 miles there are 2 huge solar farms on beautiful farmland. Every road out of town in every direction has new solar arrays. Somebody is making money. Hubby was in the private sector for 23 years. When he wanted to go back to teaching at the time he could buy back into teacher’s pension with a pay-in. You probably know Illinois teachers do not pay into social security. with a smallish penalty in social security and teachers pension he gets both. I believe that might have been stopped, though. Considering the profession now, he couldn’t wait to retire. He taught science and corrected for spelling and grammar plus ran a tight ship. At 62 he was OUT.
