Over 30 years of retirement, Lilley would collect as much as $393,541, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Lilley received $8,271 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Lilley will have already received $34,603 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
