Over 30 years of retirement, Heiar would collect as much as $1.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Heiar received $37,029 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Heiar will have already received $154,916 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
