Over 30 years of retirement, Washington would collect as much as $1.7 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Washington received $35,837 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Washington will have already received $110,768 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
