Over 30 years of retirement, Szoke would collect as much as $816,474, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Szoke received $17,161 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Szoke will have already received $53,043 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
