Over 30 years of retirement, Bayles would collect as much as $84,878, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Bayles received $1,784 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Bayles will have already received $11,543 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
