Over 30 years of retirement, Regan would collect as much as $86,309, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Regan received $1,814 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Regan will have already received $7,588 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
