Over 30 years of retirement, Sax would collect as much as $2.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Sax received $45,527 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sax will have already received $140,720 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
