Over 30 years of retirement, Eizenga would collect as much as $2.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Eizenga received $53,826 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Eizenga will have already received $166,371 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
