Over 30 years of retirement, Gunther would collect as much as $4.32 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Gunther received $90,823 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gunther will have already received $184,371 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
