Over 30 years of retirement, Bilina would collect as much as $2.69 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Bilina received $56,457 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bilina will have already received $174,504 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
