Over 30 years of retirement, Sullivan would collect as much as $2.66 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Sullivan received $55,842 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sullivan will have already received $172,602 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
