Over 30 years of retirement, Kearney would collect as much as $2.88 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Kearney received $60,432 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Kearney will have already received $252,824 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
