Over 30 years of retirement, Koerner would collect as much as $1.63 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Southern Illinois News.
The projection assumes Koerner received $34,339 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Koerner will have already received $143,661 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
