Over 30 years of retirement, Caplan would collect as much as $1.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Caplan received $38,002 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Caplan will have already received $117,460 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
