Over 30 years of retirement, Meitl would collect as much as $2.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Meitl received $49,889 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Meitl will have already received $154,203 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
