Over 30 years of retirement, Elkun would collect as much as $150,919, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Elkun received $3,172 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Elkun will have already received $16,840 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
