Over 30 years of retirement, Kepple would collect as much as $2.46 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Kepple received $51,610 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kepple will have already received $159,521 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
