Over 30 years of retirement, Tomlinson would collect as much as $641,354, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Tomlinson received $13,480 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Tomlinson will have already received $56,395 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
