Over 30 years of retirement, Kelly would collect as much as $659,072, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Kelly received $13,853 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kelly will have already received $42,819 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
