Over 30 years of retirement, Bouse would collect as much as $3.33 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Bouse received $69,952 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bouse will have already received $216,216 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
