Over 30 years of retirement, Elliott would collect as much as $1.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Elliott received $26,801 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Elliott will have already received $112,125 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
