Over 30 years of retirement, Timko would collect as much as $1.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Timko received $33,004 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Timko will have already received $138,076 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
