Over 30 years of retirement, Pasteris would collect as much as $751,059, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Pasteris received $15,786 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Pasteris will have already received $48,794 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
