Over 30 years of retirement, Westphal would collect as much as $5.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Westphal received $106,891 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Westphal will have already received $216,989 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
