Over 30 years of retirement, Conover would collect as much as $1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Conover received $21,071 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Conover will have already received $42,774 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
