Over 30 years of retirement, Delzell would collect as much as $2.7 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Delzell received $56,693 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Delzell will have already received $175,233 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
