Over 30 years of retirement, Stewart would collect as much as $126,598, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Stewart received $2,661 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Stewart will have already received $11,133 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
