Over 30 years of retirement, Graham would collect as much as $35,144, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Graham received $738 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Graham will have already received $1,498 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
