Over 30 years of retirement, Johnston would collect as much as $428,898, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Johnston received $9,015 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Johnston will have already received $18,300 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
