Over 30 years of retirement, Sweitzer would collect as much as $2.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Sweitzer received $53,577 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sweitzer will have already received $165,601 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
