Over 30 years of retirement, Wittenberg would collect as much as $100,148, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Wittenberg received $2,105 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Wittenberg will have already received $8,806 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
