Over 30 years of retirement, Hawke would collect as much as $97,442, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Hawke received $2,048 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Hawke will have already received $8,566 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
