Over 30 years of retirement, Nelson would collect as much as $760,650, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Nelson received $15,988 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Nelson will have already received $15,988 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
