Over 30 years of retirement, Cremieux would collect as much as $2.02 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Cremieux received $42,552 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cremieux will have already received $131,525 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
