Over 30 years of retirement, Drudge would collect as much as $2.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Drudge received $44,083 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Drudge will have already received $89,488 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
