Over 30 years of retirement, McDonald would collect as much as $357,308, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes McDonald received $7,510 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, McDonald will have already received $31,418 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
