Over 30 years of retirement, Brenner would collect as much as $3.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Brenner received $64,238 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Brenner will have already received $198,553 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
