Over 30 years of retirement, Santana would collect as much as $1.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Santana received $21,607 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Santana will have already received $66,785 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
