Over 30 years of retirement, Habben would collect as much as $2.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Habben received $47,843 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Habben will have already received $147,877 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
