Over 30 years of retirement, Powell would collect as much as $1.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Powell received $30,283 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Powell will have already received $61,474 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
