Over 30 years of retirement, Coy would collect as much as $1.14 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Coy received $23,954 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Coy will have already received $100,215 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
