Over 30 years of retirement, Duke would collect as much as $849,432, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Duke received $17,854 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Duke will have already received $74,696 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
