Over 30 years of retirement, Maher would collect as much as $481,307, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Maher received $10,116 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Maher will have already received $10,116 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
