Over 30 years of retirement, Kraus would collect as much as $2.43 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Kraus received $51,145 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kraus will have already received $158,083 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
