Over 30 years of retirement, Klein would collect as much as $4.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Klein received $89,888 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Klein will have already received $182,473 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
