Over 30 years of retirement, Harris would collect as much as $1.3 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Harris received $27,378 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Harris will have already received $55,577 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
