Over 30 years of retirement, Weyhrich would collect as much as $2.46 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Weyhrich received $51,736 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Weyhrich will have already received $159,911 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
