Over 30 years of retirement, Douglass would collect as much as $2.69 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Douglass received $56,634 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Douglass will have already received $175,050 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
