Over 30 years of retirement, Thorley would collect as much as $877,794, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Thorley received $18,450 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Thorley will have already received $57,028 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
