Over 30 years of retirement, Sanders would collect as much as $2.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Sanders received $53,814 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sanders will have already received $166,333 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
