Over 30 years of retirement, Kantecki would collect as much as $679,742, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Kantecki received $14,287 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kantecki will have already received $44,160 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
