Over 30 years of retirement, Stowell would collect as much as $1.2 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Stowell received $25,261 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Stowell will have already received $51,280 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
