Over 30 years of retirement, Lishka would collect as much as $1.33 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Lishka received $28,037 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Lishka will have already received $117,295 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
