Over 30 years of retirement, O'Brien would collect as much as $1.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes O'Brien received $28,826 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, O'Brien will have already received $89,099 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
