Over 30 years of retirement, Hermann would collect as much as $1.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Hermann received $24,374 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hermann will have already received $75,337 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
