Over 30 years of retirement, Berkman would collect as much as $2.83 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Quincy Reporter.
The projection assumes Berkman received $59,584 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Berkman will have already received $184,169 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
