Over 30 years of retirement, Fager would collect as much as $1.89 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Fager received $39,712 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Fager will have already received $166,139 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
