Over 30 years of retirement, Barry would collect as much as $2.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Barry received $45,686 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Barry will have already received $141,212 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
