Over 30 years of retirement, Brandenburg would collect as much as $543,181, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Brandenburg received $11,417 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Brandenburg will have already received $11,417 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
