Over 30 years of retirement, Wilson would collect as much as $5.89 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Wilson received $123,874 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Wilson will have already received $251,464 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
