Over 30 years of retirement, Peoples would collect as much as $3.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Peoples received $63,212 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Peoples will have already received $195,381 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
