Over 30 years of retirement, Zwaga would collect as much as $831,768, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Zwaga received $17,483 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Zwaga will have already received $73,140 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
