Over 30 years of retirement, Hallowell would collect as much as $3.18 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Hallowell received $66,859 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Hallowell will have already received $279,714 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
