Over 30 years of retirement, Parmelee would collect as much as $1.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Parmelee received $21,545 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Parmelee will have already received $90,136 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
