Over 30 years of retirement, Mayer would collect as much as $215,408, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Mayer received $4,527 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Mayer will have already received $18,940 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
