Over 30 years of retirement, Michael would collect as much as $129,435, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Michael received $2,720 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Michael will have already received $8,408 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
