Over 30 years of retirement, Buhner would collect as much as $548,280, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Buhner received $11,524 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Buhner will have already received $11,524 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
