Over 30 years of retirement, Capper would collect as much as $874,959, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Capper received $18,390 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Capper will have already received $56,842 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
