Over 30 years of retirement, Boren would collect as much as $278,550, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Boren received $5,854 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Boren will have already received $31,081 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
