Over 30 years of retirement, Alpern would collect as much as $2.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Alpern received $50,011 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Alpern will have already received $101,522 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
