Over 30 years of retirement, Barber would collect as much as $2.64 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Barber received $55,541 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Barber will have already received $112,748 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
