Over 30 years of retirement, Poe would collect as much as $3.49 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Poe received $73,386 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Poe will have already received $226,830 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
