Over 30 years of retirement, Herrmann would collect as much as $542,171, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Quincy Reporter.
The projection assumes Herrmann received $11,396 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Herrmann will have already received $35,224 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
