Over 30 years of retirement, Ganschow would collect as much as $1.08 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Ganschow received $22,798 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ganschow will have already received $70,466 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
