Over 30 years of retirement, Chamberlin would collect as much as $4.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Chamberlin received $95,958 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Chamberlin will have already received $296,597 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
