Over 30 years of retirement, Klasen would collect as much as $2.91 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Klasen received $61,176 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Klasen will have already received $189,088 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
