Over 30 years of retirement, Gaa would collect as much as $1.91 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Gaa received $40,176 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Gaa will have already received $168,080 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
