Over 30 years of retirement, Tuggle would collect as much as $3.32 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Tuggle received $69,855 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Tuggle will have already received $141,806 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
