Over 30 years of retirement, Field would collect as much as $2 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Field received $42,048 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Field will have already received $175,911 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
