Over 30 years of retirement, Wielgopolan would collect as much as $2.83 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Wielgopolan received $59,544 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wielgopolan will have already received $184,044 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
