Over 30 years of retirement, Hearn would collect as much as $72,733, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Hearn received $1,528 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Hearn will have already received $8,113 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
