Over 30 years of retirement, Rooney would collect as much as $973,707, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Rooney received $20,466 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Rooney will have already received $85,621 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
