Over 30 years of retirement, Heino would collect as much as $5.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Heino received $109,701 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Heino will have already received $339,075 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
