Over 30 years of retirement, Keyes would collect as much as $2.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Keyes received $43,358 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Keyes will have already received $134,016 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
