Over 30 years of retirement, Tompkins would collect as much as $213,153, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Tompkins received $4,480 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Tompkins will have already received $13,846 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
