Over 30 years of retirement, Bargo would collect as much as $124,069, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Bargo received $2,607 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bargo will have already received $8,058 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
