Over 30 years of retirement, Swinney would collect as much as $8.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Swinney received $172,827 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Swinney will have already received $350,839 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
