Over 30 years of retirement, Musial would collect as much as $3.68 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Musial received $77,361 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Musial will have already received $157,043 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
