Over 30 years of retirement, Echternach would collect as much as $3.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Echternach received $71,048 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Echternach will have already received $219,601 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
