Over 30 years of retirement, Bigley would collect as much as $2.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Bigley received $59,128 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Bigley will have already received $120,030 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
