Over 30 years of retirement, Shurtz would collect as much as $1.05 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Shurtz received $22,167 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Shurtz will have already received $44,999 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
