Over 30 years of retirement, Foerch would collect as much as $5.74 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Foerch received $120,560 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Foerch will have already received $372,639 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
