Over 30 years of retirement, Halpin would collect as much as $3.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Halpin received $72,407 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Halpin will have already received $146,986 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
