Over 30 years of retirement, Vaughn would collect as much as $430,456, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Vaughn received $9,047 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Vaughn will have already received $18,365 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
