Over 30 years of retirement, Newberry would collect as much as $1.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Newberry received $36,222 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Newberry will have already received $151,540 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
