Over 30 years of retirement, Geller would collect as much as $1.33 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Geller received $28,044 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Geller will have already received $86,681 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
