Over 30 years of retirement, Slettum would collect as much as $4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Slettum received $84,074 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Slettum will have already received $170,670 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
