Over 30 years of retirement, Henley 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 Henley received $39,351 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Henley will have already received $121,631 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
