Over 30 years of retirement, Scherer would collect as much as $163,878, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Scherer received $3,444 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Scherer will have already received $10,644 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
