Over 30 years of retirement, Znaniecki would collect as much as $127,608, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Znaniecki received $2,682 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Znaniecki will have already received $8,289 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
