Over 30 years of retirement, Shemoski would collect as much as $4.78 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Shemoski received $100,374 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Shemoski will have already received $310,246 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
