Over 30 years of retirement, Alvarez would collect as much as $735,120, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Alvarez received $15,451 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Alvarez will have already received $47,758 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
