Over 30 years of retirement, Morrissey would collect as much as $1.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Morrissey received $30,173 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Morrissey will have already received $126,231 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
