Over 30 years of retirement, Russell would collect as much as $7.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Russell received $150,183 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Russell will have already received $304,871 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
