Over 30 years of retirement, Hofbauer would collect as much as $584,281, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.
The projection assumes Hofbauer received $12,281 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Hofbauer will have already received $51,377 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
