Over 30 years of retirement, Cavalieri would collect as much as $504,371, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Cavalieri received $10,601 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Cavalieri will have already received $44,351 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
