Over 30 years of retirement, Ropeter would collect as much as $2.58 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Ropeter received $54,278 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ropeter will have already received $167,767 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
