Over 30 years of retirement, Gajewski would collect as much as $391,081, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Gajewski received $8,220 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Gajewski will have already received $43,643 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
