Over 30 years of retirement, Raines would collect as much as $232,038, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Raines received $4,877 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Raines will have already received $25,892 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
