Over 30 years of retirement, Erdmann would collect as much as $1.49 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Erdmann received $31,242 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Erdmann will have already received $130,703 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
