Over 30 years of retirement, McMillen would collect as much as $2.93 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes McMillen received $61,495 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, McMillen will have already received $190,075 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
