Over 30 years of retirement, Eldrenkamp would collect as much as $1.91 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Eldrenkamp received $40,074 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Eldrenkamp will have already received $81,350 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
