Over 30 years of retirement, Montgomery would collect as much as $2.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Montgomery received $45,384 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Montgomery will have already received $189,870 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
