Over 30 years of retirement, Toppett would collect as much as $3.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Toppett received $77,926 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Toppett will have already received $240,862 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
