Over 30 years of retirement, Badon would collect as much as $40,756, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Badon received $856 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Badon will have already received $2,646 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
