Over 30 years of retirement, Cotie would collect as much as $1.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Cotie received $36,137 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cotie will have already received $111,696 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
