Over 30 years of retirement, McHugh would collect as much as $189,397, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes McHugh received $3,981 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, McHugh will have already received $8,081 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
