Over 30 years of retirement, Cericola would collect as much as $821,281, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Cericola received $17,262 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Cericola will have already received $72,217 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
