Over 30 years of retirement, Lung would collect as much as $55,412, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Lung received $1,164 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Lung will have already received $2,363 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
