Over 30 years of retirement, Klein would collect as much as $1.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Klein received $37,787 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Klein will have already received $116,797 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
