Over 30 years of retirement, Elders would collect as much as $2.99 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Elders received $62,853 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Elders will have already received $194,273 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
