Over 30 years of retirement, Blanche would collect as much as $3.62 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Blanche received $76,002 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Blanche will have already received $317,963 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
