Over 30 years of retirement, Andersen would collect as much as $136,531, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Andersen received $2,869 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Andersen will have already received $18,558 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
