Over 30 years of retirement, Popek would collect as much as $3.94 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Popek received $82,897 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Popek will have already received $168,281 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
