Over 30 years of retirement, Hammonds would collect as much as $471,264, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Hammonds received $9,905 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hammonds will have already received $30,615 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
