Over 30 years of retirement, Patzelt would collect as much as $812,009, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Patzelt received $17,067 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Patzelt will have already received $34,646 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
