Over 30 years of retirement, Vanartsdalen would collect as much as $4.54 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Vanartsdalen received $95,323 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Vanartsdalen will have already received $193,506 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
