Over 30 years of retirement, Rushing would collect as much as $810,936, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Rushing received $17,045 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Rushing will have already received $71,309 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
