Over 30 years of retirement, White would collect as much as $1.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes White received $24,171 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, White will have already received $49,067 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
