Over 30 years of retirement, Betz would collect as much as $2.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.
The projection assumes Betz received $58,969 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Betz will have already received $182,267 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
