Over 30 years of retirement, Harrold would collect as much as $85,153, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Harrold received $1,789 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Harrold will have already received $3,632 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
