Over 30 years of retirement, Miller would collect as much as $66,967, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Southern Illinois News.
The projection assumes Miller received $1,407 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Miller will have already received $2,856 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
