Over 30 years of retirement, Smagacz would collect as much as $318,245, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Smagacz received $6,689 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Smagacz will have already received $13,579 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
