Over 30 years of retirement, Bierman would collect as much as $1.7 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Bierman received $35,758 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Bierman will have already received $149,599 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
