Over 30 years of retirement, Simpson would collect as much as $1.33 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Simpson received $27,913 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Simpson will have already received $86,276 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
