Over 30 years of retirement, Gerenstein would collect as much as $2.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Gerenstein received $45,321 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gerenstein will have already received $92,002 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
