Over 30 years of retirement, Nicholson would collect as much as $3.21 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.
The projection assumes Nicholson received $67,450 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Nicholson will have already received $136,924 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
