Over 30 years of retirement, Newton would collect as much as $77,237, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Newton received $1,623 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Newton will have already received $5,017 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
