Over 30 years of retirement, Vander Weyden would collect as much as $3.32 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Vander Weyden received $69,680 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Vander Weyden will have already received $141,450 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
