Over 30 years of retirement, Escalante would collect as much as $1.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Escalante received $24,909 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Escalante will have already received $104,210 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
