Over 30 years of retirement, Demler would collect as much as $555,376, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Demler received $11,673 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Demler will have already received $36,080 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
