Over 30 years of retirement, Howland would collect as much as $1.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Howland received $40,292 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Howland will have already received $124,539 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
