Over 30 years of retirement, Miller would collect as much as $2.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Southern Illinois News.
The projection assumes Miller received $47,370 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Miller will have already received $146,416 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
