Over 30 years of retirement, Tam would collect as much as $299,702, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Tam received $6,299 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Tam will have already received $26,353 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
