Over 30 years of retirement, Simon would collect as much as $2.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Simon received $58,092 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Simon will have already received $179,557 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
