Over 30 years of retirement, Denning would collect as much as $251,666, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Denning received $5,289 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Denning will have already received $16,348 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
