Over 30 years of retirement, Crain would collect as much as $175,142, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Crain received $3,681 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Crain will have already received $3,681 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
