Over 30 years of retirement, Heinrich would collect as much as $1.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Heinrich received $24,661 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Heinrich will have already received $103,173 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
