Over 30 years of retirement, Simons would collect as much as $2.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Quincy Reporter.
The projection assumes Simons received $46,067 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Simons will have already received $142,388 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
