Over 30 years of retirement, Bowling would collect as much as $4.14 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Bowling received $87,102 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bowling will have already received $269,223 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
