Over 30 years of retirement, Gauen would collect as much as $4.2 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Gauen received $88,242 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gauen will have already received $179,131 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
