Over 30 years of retirement, Everett would collect as much as $1.58 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Everett received $33,228 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Everett will have already received $139,015 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
