Over 30 years of retirement, Diller would collect as much as $1.18 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Diller received $24,768 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Diller will have already received $131,495 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
