Over 30 years of retirement, Dovgin would collect as much as $3.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Dovgin received $82,322 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dovgin will have already received $254,450 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
