Over 30 years of retirement, Pearson would collect as much as $1.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Pearson received $23,003 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Pearson will have already received $96,236 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
