Over 30 years of retirement, McNeely would collect as much as $313,923, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes McNeely received $6,598 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, McNeely will have already received $20,394 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
