Over 30 years of retirement, Dayton would collect as much as $2.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Dayton received $58,093 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dayton will have already received $179,560 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
