Over 30 years of retirement, Bruhn would collect as much as $910,993, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Bruhn received $19,148 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Bruhn will have already received $80,107 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
