Over 30 years of retirement, Parks would collect as much as $3.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Parks received $65,393 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Parks will have already received $202,124 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
