Over 30 years of retirement, Orourke would collect as much as $891,199, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Orourke received $18,732 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Orourke will have already received $78,368 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
