Over 30 years of retirement, Zepeda would collect as much as $1.83 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Zepeda received $38,503 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Zepeda will have already received $161,082 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
