Over 30 years of retirement, Thomas would collect as much as $1.43 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Thomas received $30,144 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Thomas will have already received $93,171 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
