Over 30 years of retirement, Yeh would collect as much as $908,900, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Yeh received $19,104 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Yeh will have already received $79,923 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
