Over 30 years of retirement, McGawley would collect as much as $251,192, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes McGawley received $5,279 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, McGawley will have already received $16,316 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
