Over 30 years of retirement, Martin would collect as much as $243,833, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Martin received $5,125 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Martin will have already received $21,441 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
