Over 30 years of retirement, Pohlman would collect as much as $2.85 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Pohlman received $59,970 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Pohlman will have already received $185,361 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
