Over 30 years of retirement, Martin would collect as much as $1.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Martin received $29,755 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Martin will have already received $124,484 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
