Over 30 years of retirement, Belinsky would collect as much as $3.7 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Belinsky received $77,865 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Belinsky will have already received $158,066 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
