Over 30 years of retirement, Foertsch would collect as much as $1.99 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Foertsch received $41,868 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Foertsch will have already received $129,410 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
