Over 30 years of retirement, Sosnowski would collect as much as $383,808, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Sosnowski received $8,067 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sosnowski will have already received $24,934 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
