Over 30 years of retirement, Sweeney would collect as much as $1.88 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Sweeney received $39,537 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sweeney will have already received $122,205 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
