Over 30 years of retirement, Valdez would collect as much as $848,684, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Valdez received $17,838 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Valdez will have already received $55,135 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
