Over 30 years of retirement, Shifflett would collect as much as $562,210, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Shifflett received $11,817 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Shifflett will have already received $36,526 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
