Over 30 years of retirement, Dudek would collect as much as $307,986, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Dudek received $6,473 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Dudek will have already received $13,140 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
