Over 30 years of retirement, Mast would collect as much as $975,476, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Mast received $20,503 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Mast will have already received $41,621 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
