Over 30 years of retirement, Fett would collect as much as $949,569, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Fett received $19,959 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Fett will have already received $40,517 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
