Over 30 years of retirement, Heiberger would collect as much as $5.23 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Heiberger received $109,907 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Heiberger will have already received $223,111 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
