Over 30 years of retirement, Syverson would collect as much as $3.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Syverson received $78,769 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Syverson will have already received $243,467 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
