Over 30 years of retirement, Mendelson would collect as much as $1.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Mendelson received $36,848 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Mendelson will have already received $113,893 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
