Over 30 years of retirement, Taylor would collect as much as $3.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Taylor received $79,136 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Taylor will have already received $160,646 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
