Over 30 years of retirement, Byrd would collect as much as $602,373, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Byrd received $12,661 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Byrd will have already received $81,897 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
