Over 30 years of retirement, Horowitz would collect as much as $6.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Horowitz received $135,912 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Horowitz will have already received $275,901 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
