Over 30 years of retirement, Louis would collect as much as $1.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Louis received $38,776 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Louis will have already received $119,852 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
