Over 30 years of retirement, Eckstein would collect as much as $1.97 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Eckstein received $41,306 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Eckstein will have already received $127,672 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
