Over 30 years of retirement, Walker would collect as much as $4.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Walker received $95,720 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Walker will have already received $295,862 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
