Over 30 years of retirement, Hennessy would collect as much as $5.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Hennessy received $114,954 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hennessy will have already received $233,357 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
