Over 30 years of retirement, Pittman would collect as much as $518,878, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Pittman received $10,906 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Pittman will have already received $45,626 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
