Over 30 years of retirement, Romaniszak would collect as much as $2.68 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Romaniszak received $56,262 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Romaniszak will have already received $173,901 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
