Over 30 years of retirement, Cress would collect as much as $2.78 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Cress received $58,421 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cress will have already received $180,574 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
