Over 30 years of retirement, Hawkins would collect as much as $406,661, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Hawkins received $8,547 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hawkins will have already received $17,350 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
