Over 30 years of retirement, Stevens would collect as much as $3.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Stevens received $71,965 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Stevens will have already received $146,089 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
