Over 30 years of retirement, Kounelis would collect as much as $623,685, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Kounelis received $13,109 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Kounelis will have already received $54,842 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
