Over 30 years of retirement, Szanyi would collect as much as $1.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.
The projection assumes Szanyi received $24,085 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Szanyi will have already received $48,893 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
