Over 30 years of retirement, Lee would collect as much as $4.89 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Lee received $102,877 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lee will have already received $317,982 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
