Over 30 years of retirement, Lotspeich would collect as much as $4.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.

After 2 years of retirement, Lotspeich will have already received $186,577 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
