Over 30 years of retirement, Duval would collect as much as $2.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Duval received $51,534 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Duval will have already received $159,286 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
