Over 30 years of retirement, Kemmerer would collect as much as $2.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Kemmerer received $59,598 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kemmerer will have already received $184,212 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
