Over 30 years of retirement, Bretzman would collect as much as $2.79 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.
The projection assumes Bretzman received $58,613 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bretzman will have already received $181,166 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
