Over 30 years of retirement, Poteracki would collect as much as $4.41 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Poteracki received $92,769 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Poteracki will have already received $188,321 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
