Over 30 years of retirement, Damato would collect as much as $125,941, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Damato received $2,647 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Damato will have already received $8,181 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
