Over 30 years of retirement, Cassidy would collect as much as $2.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Cassidy received $44,169 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cassidy will have already received $136,522 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
