Over 30 years of retirement, Kirby would collect as much as $3.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Kirby received $63,205 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Kirby will have already received $264,426 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
