Over 30 years of retirement, Chambers would collect as much as $2.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Chambers received $53,660 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Chambers will have already received $284,889 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
