Over 30 years of retirement, Gilbert would collect as much as $486,380, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Gilbert received $10,223 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Gilbert will have already received $54,276 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
