Over 30 years of retirement, Petranek would collect as much as $4.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Petranek received $100,947 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Petranek will have already received $312,016 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
