Over 30 years of retirement, Sierra Toro would collect as much as $1.66 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Sierra Toro received $34,812 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Sierra Toro will have already received $145,640 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
