Over 30 years of retirement, Pickens would collect as much as $335,937, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Pickens received $7,061 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Pickens will have already received $14,334 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
