Over 30 years of retirement, Najera would collect as much as $261,308, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Najera received $5,492 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Najera will have already received $22,978 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
