Over 30 years of retirement, Christensen would collect as much as $3.79 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Christensen received $79,692 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Christensen will have already received $161,775 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
