Over 30 years of retirement, Chico would collect as much as $2.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Chico received $53,610 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Chico will have already received $165,703 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
