Over 30 years of retirement, Beals would collect as much as $2.33 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Beals received $48,911 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Beals will have already received $99,289 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
