Over 30 years of retirement, Harris would collect as much as $2.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Harris received $57,779 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Harris will have already received $178,588 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
