Over 30 years of retirement, Nardiello would collect as much as $1.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Nardiello received $26,554 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Nardiello will have already received $53,905 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
