Over 30 years of retirement, Bourke would collect as much as $52,614, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Bourke received $1,105 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Bourke will have already received $1,105 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
