Over 30 years of retirement, Cotto Guerra would collect as much as $81,173, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

After 4 years of retirement, Cotto Guerra will have already received $7,137 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
