Over 30 years of retirement, Bianchi would collect as much as $1.13 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Bianchi received $23,828 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Bianchi will have already received $99,687 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
