Over 30 years of retirement, Gibson would collect as much as $3.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Gibson received $71,787 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gibson will have already received $221,887 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
