Over 30 years of retirement, Kelly would collect as much as $4.31 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Kelly received $90,682 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kelly will have already received $184,084 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
