Over 30 years of retirement, Nelson would collect as much as $595,767, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Nelson received $12,522 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Nelson will have already received $25,420 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
