Over 30 years of retirement, Calabrese would collect as much as $2.23 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Calabrese received $46,839 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Calabrese will have already received $195,956 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
