Over 30 years of retirement, Muehlfeld would collect as much as $1.82 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Muehlfeld received $38,150 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Muehlfeld will have already received $117,919 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
