Over 30 years of retirement, Griffith would collect as much as $1.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Griffith received $36,142 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Griffith will have already received $111,711 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
