Over 30 years of retirement, Gorla would collect as much as $2.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Gorla received $50,004 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Gorla will have already received $209,197 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
