Over 30 years of retirement, Gummert would collect as much as $1.99 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Gummert received $41,753 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gummert will have already received $129,055 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
