Over 30 years of retirement, McMahen would collect as much as $1.77 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes McMahen received $37,302 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, McMahen will have already received $156,058 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
