Over 30 years of retirement, Cosentino would collect as much as $582,842, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Cosentino received $12,250 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Cosentino will have already received $51,252 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
