Over 30 years of retirement, Pascolla would collect as much as $4.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Pascolla received $95,563 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Pascolla will have already received $193,993 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
