Over 30 years of retirement, Czajkoski would collect as much as $2.79 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Czajkoski received $58,662 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Czajkoski will have already received $181,319 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
