Over 30 years of retirement, Timmons would collect as much as $1.94 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Timmons received $40,720 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Timmons will have already received $125,862 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
