Over 30 years of retirement, Baxter would collect as much as $537,786, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Baxter received $11,303 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Baxter will have already received $11,303 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
