Over 30 years of retirement, Swan would collect as much as $4.27 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Swan received $89,752 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Swan will have already received $277,415 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
