Over 30 years of retirement, Marquardt would collect as much as $1.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Marquardt received $22,989 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Marquardt will have already received $71,057 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
