Over 30 years of retirement, Ventura would collect as much as $3.23 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Ventura received $67,957 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ventura will have already received $210,049 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
