Over 30 years of retirement, Carlson would collect as much as $3.5 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Carlson received $73,636 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Carlson will have already received $308,065 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
