Over 30 years of retirement, Lidy would collect as much as $182,872, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Lidy received $3,843 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Lidy will have already received $16,077 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
