Over 30 years of retirement, Banks would collect as much as $109,625, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Banks received $2,304 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Banks will have already received $7,121 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
