Over 30 years of retirement, O'Connell would collect as much as $101,689, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes O'Connell received $2,137 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, O'Connell will have already received $4,338 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
