Over 30 years of retirement, McNamara would collect as much as $2.61 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes McNamara received $54,901 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, McNamara will have already received $111,449 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
