Over 30 years of retirement, Cragin would collect as much as $951,867, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Cragin received $20,007 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Cragin will have already received $106,219 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
