Over 30 years of retirement, Wiegers would collect as much as $84,008, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Wiegers received $1,765 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Wiegers will have already received $3,583 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
