Over 30 years of retirement, Sorsby would collect as much as $160,682, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Sorsby received $3,377 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Sorsby will have already received $17,926 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
