Over 30 years of retirement, Cleary would collect as much as $47,088, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Cleary received $989 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cleary will have already received $3,058 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
