Over 30 years of retirement, Cole would collect as much as $820,379, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Cole received $17,243 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Cole will have already received $35,003 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
