Over 30 years of retirement, Helwink would collect as much as $3.18 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Helwink received $66,921 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Helwink will have already received $206,847 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
