Over 30 years of retirement, Sullivan would collect as much as $1.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Sullivan received $25,709 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sullivan will have already received $79,463 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
