Over 30 years of retirement, Mascal would collect as much as $2.65 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Mascal received $55,790 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Mascal will have already received $172,442 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
