Over 30 years of retirement, Owen would collect as much as $1.9 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Owen received $39,905 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Owen will have already received $123,342 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
