Over 30 years of retirement, Hobbs would collect as much as $1.31 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Hobbs received $27,432 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hobbs will have already received $84,790 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
