Over 30 years of retirement, Jansen would collect as much as $2.88 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Jansen received $60,453 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Jansen will have already received $252,914 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
