Over 30 years of retirement, Cleary would collect as much as $1.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Cleary received $28,135 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cleary will have already received $86,962 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
