Over 30 years of retirement, Wultzen would collect as much as $3.67 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Wultzen received $77,234 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wultzen will have already received $238,723 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
