Over 30 years of retirement, Leary would collect as much as $529,862, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Leary received $11,137 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Leary will have already received $22,608 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
