Over 30 years of retirement, Chmielowiec would collect as much as $2.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.
The projection assumes Chmielowiec received $46,711 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Chmielowiec will have already received $195,420 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
