Over 30 years of retirement, Longwell would collect as much as $1.18 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Longwell received $24,770 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Longwell will have already received $76,561 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
