Over 30 years of retirement, Hewitt would collect as much as $1.21 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Hewitt received $25,363 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hewitt will have already received $78,395 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
