Over 30 years of retirement, Bartelt would collect as much as $886,912, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Bartelt received $18,642 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Bartelt will have already received $77,990 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
