Over 30 years of retirement, Letheby would collect as much as $1.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Letheby received $36,009 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Letheby will have already received $73,098 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
