Over 30 years of retirement, Gackowski would collect as much as $3.54 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Gackowski received $74,446 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gackowski will have already received $230,104 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
