Over 30 years of retirement, Quinones would collect as much as $2.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Quinones received $42,202 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Quinones will have already received $176,557 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
