Over 30 years of retirement, Fusco would collect as much as $5.51 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Fusco received $115,832 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Fusco will have already received $235,139 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
