Over 30 years of retirement, Flowers would collect as much as $4.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Flowers received $93,596 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Flowers will have already received $190,000 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
