Over 30 years of retirement, Lerner would collect as much as $497,152, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Lerner received $10,449 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Lerner will have already received $21,211 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
