Over 30 years of retirement, Carmichael would collect as much as $3.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Carmichael received $72,339 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Carmichael will have already received $146,848 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
