Over 30 years of retirement, Bowyer would collect as much as $3.7 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Bowyer received $77,688 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bowyer will have already received $240,127 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
