Over 30 years of retirement, Simpson Nelson would collect as much as $3.21 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Simpson Nelson received $67,576 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Simpson Nelson will have already received $208,870 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
