Over 30 years of retirement, Brewer would collect as much as $4.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Brewer received $92,168 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Brewer will have already received $284,882 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
