Over 30 years of retirement, Casper would collect as much as $981,865, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Casper received $20,638 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Casper will have already received $86,342 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
