Over 30 years of retirement, Abell would collect as much as $3.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Abell received $67,104 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Abell will have already received $207,412 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
