Over 30 years of retirement, McGrath would collect as much as $3.07 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes McGrath received $64,433 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, McGrath will have already received $130,799 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
