Over 30 years of retirement, Elk would collect as much as $5.27 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Elk received $110,776 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Elk will have already received $342,397 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
