Over 30 years of retirement, Gordon would collect as much as $2.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Gordon received $45,168 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gordon will have already received $139,610 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
