Over 30 years of retirement, Gorsuch would collect as much as $1.93 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Gorsuch received $40,482 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gorsuch will have already received $125,125 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
