Over 30 years of retirement, Savage would collect as much as $3.24 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Savage received $68,061 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Savage will have already received $284,742 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
