Over 30 years of retirement, Dotson would collect as much as $3.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Dotson received $68,360 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Dotson will have already received $285,993 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
