Over 30 years of retirement, Armel would collect as much as $2.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Armel received $44,022 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Armel will have already received $136,068 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
