Over 30 years of retirement, Oreilly would collect as much as $2.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Oreilly received $51,440 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Oreilly will have already received $215,204 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
