Over 30 years of retirement, Cicolello would collect as much as $3.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Cicolello received $71,374 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cicolello will have already received $220,609 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
