Over 30 years of retirement, Garcia would collect as much as $3.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Garcia received $74,661 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Garcia will have already received $230,770 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
