Over 30 years of retirement, Petri would collect as much as $3.5 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Petri received $73,597 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Petri will have already received $227,481 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
