Over 30 years of retirement, Myers would collect as much as $3.49 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Myers received $73,297 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Myers will have already received $148,793 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
