Over 30 years of retirement, Whitesell would collect as much as $4.46 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Whitesell received $93,713 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Whitesell will have already received $190,237 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
