Over 30 years of retirement, Murrihy would collect as much as $2.02 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Murrihy received $42,442 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Murrihy will have already received $131,183 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
