Over 30 years of retirement, Heiman would collect as much as $2.61 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Heiman received $54,963 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Heiman will have already received $169,885 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
