Over 30 years of retirement, Mecker would collect as much as $654,491, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Mecker received $13,756 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Mecker will have already received $57,551 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
