Over 30 years of retirement, Barenbrugge would collect as much as $1.97 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Barenbrugge received $41,412 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Barenbrugge will have already received $128,000 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
