Over 30 years of retirement, Hintzsche would collect as much as $2.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Hintzsche received $56,921 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hintzsche will have already received $175,938 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
