Over 30 years of retirement, Bridges would collect as much as $4.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Bridges received $100,010 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Bridges will have already received $203,020 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
