Over 30 years of retirement, Connors would collect as much as $1.2 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Connors received $25,270 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Connors will have already received $105,720 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
