Over 30 years of retirement, Appelbaum Mirro would collect as much as $1.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Appelbaum Mirro received $38,600 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Appelbaum Mirro will have already received $119,309 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
