Over 30 years of retirement, Starr would collect as much as $3.41 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Starr received $71,663 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Starr will have already received $145,476 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
