Over 30 years of retirement, Braun would collect as much as $2.77 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Braun received $58,161 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Braun will have already received $179,770 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
