Over 30 years of retirement, Niederman would collect as much as $2.94 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Niederman received $61,717 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Niederman will have already received $190,762 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
