Over 30 years of retirement, Kurrle would collect as much as $1.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.
The projection assumes Kurrle received $21,273 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kurrle will have already received $43,184 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
