Over 30 years of retirement, Watt would collect as much as $721,994, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Watt received $15,175 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Watt will have already received $15,175 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
