Over 30 years of retirement, Shine would collect as much as $3.63 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Shine received $76,229 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Shine will have already received $235,616 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
