Over 30 years of retirement, Kraft would collect as much as $3.93 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Kraft received $82,538 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kraft will have already received $167,552 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
