Over 30 years of retirement, Blume would collect as much as $1.82 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Blume received $38,277 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Blume will have already received $160,136 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
