Over 30 years of retirement, Hawkins would collect as much as $759,355, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Hawkins received $15,961 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hawkins will have already received $32,401 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
