Over 30 years of retirement, Nowatzki would collect as much as $170,637, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Nowatzki received $3,586 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Nowatzki will have already received $7,280 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
