Over 30 years of retirement, Sims would collect as much as $1.02 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Sims received $21,367 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Sims will have already received $89,391 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
