Over 30 years of retirement, Simek would collect as much as $2.86 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Simek received $60,032 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Simek will have already received $185,553 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
