Over 30 years of retirement, Burkhardt would collect as much as $3.29 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Burkhardt received $69,130 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Burkhardt will have already received $140,334 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
