Over 30 years of retirement, Czarnik would collect as much as $326,637, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Czarnik received $6,865 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Czarnik will have already received $28,720 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
