Over 30 years of retirement, Woerly would collect as much as $1.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Woerly received $35,897 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Woerly will have already received $150,179 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
