Over 30 years of retirement, Swartz would collect as much as $92,806, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Swartz received $1,950 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Swartz will have already received $8,159 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
