Over 30 years of retirement, Delich would collect as much as $1.86 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Delich received $39,168 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Delich will have already received $121,064 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
