Over 30 years of retirement, Slingerland would collect as much as $1.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Slingerland received $40,397 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Slingerland will have already received $169,006 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
