Over 30 years of retirement, Shimasaki would collect as much as $1.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Shimasaki received $39,243 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Shimasaki will have already received $121,296 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
