Over 30 years of retirement, Shelby would collect as much as $779,102, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Shelby received $16,376 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Shelby will have already received $50,616 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
