Over 30 years of retirement, Metzger would collect as much as $4.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Metzger received $84,715 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Metzger will have already received $261,845 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
