Over 30 years of retirement, Gatlin would collect as much as $216,201, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Gatlin received $4,544 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gatlin will have already received $14,044 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
