Over 30 years of retirement, Sokoloff would collect as much as $2.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.
The projection assumes Sokoloff received $50,790 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sokoloff will have already received $156,987 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
