Over 30 years of retirement, Besch would collect as much as $3.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Besch received $82,345 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Besch will have already received $254,519 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
