Over 30 years of retirement, Lacey would collect as much as $4.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Lacey received $84,998 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lacey will have already received $262,720 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
