Over 30 years of retirement, Lemmon would collect as much as $1.29 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Lemmon received $27,081 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Lemmon will have already received $54,974 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
