Over 30 years of retirement, Ralph would collect as much as $1.5 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Ralph received $31,485 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Ralph will have already received $63,915 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
