Over 30 years of retirement, Briehler would collect as much as $39,586, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Briehler received $832 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Briehler will have already received $3,481 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
