Over 30 years of retirement, Kurtz would collect as much as $2.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Kurtz received $43,211 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kurtz will have already received $133,560 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
