Over 30 years of retirement, Hechenberger would collect as much as $377,248, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Hechenberger received $7,929 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Hechenberger will have already received $33,172 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
