Over 30 years of retirement, Flanagan would collect as much as $2.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Flanagan received $45,317 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Flanagan will have already received $140,071 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
