Over 30 years of retirement, Wunderlich would collect as much as $3.79 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Wunderlich received $79,699 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wunderlich will have already received $246,342 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
