Over 30 years of retirement, Fiene would collect as much as $1.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Fiene received $36,000 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Fiene will have already received $73,080 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
