Over 30 years of retirement, Cler would collect as much as $1.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Cler received $23,436 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Cler will have already received $98,047 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
