Over 30 years of retirement, Gott would collect as much as $3.23 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Gott received $67,824 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gott will have already received $137,683 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
