Over 30 years of retirement, Strukel would collect as much as $4.08 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kendall County Times.
The projection assumes Strukel received $85,667 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Strukel will have already received $173,904 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
