Over 30 years of retirement, St John would collect as much as $1.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes St John received $28,075 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, St John will have already received $117,456 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
