Over 30 years of retirement, McLaughlin would collect as much as $272,081, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes McLaughlin received $5,718 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, McLaughlin will have already received $5,718 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
