Over 30 years of retirement, Eiten would collect as much as $1.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes NW Illinois News.
The projection assumes Eiten received $21,785 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Eiten will have already received $91,141 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
