Over 30 years of retirement, Hurckes would collect as much as $4.96 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Hurckes received $104,218 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hurckes will have already received $211,563 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
