Over 30 years of retirement, Stevens would collect as much as $1.91 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Stevens received $40,175 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Stevens will have already received $124,176 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
