Over 30 years of retirement, Blackwell would collect as much as $625,808, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Blackwell received $13,154 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Blackwell will have already received $40,658 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
