Over 30 years of retirement, Kirk would collect as much as $4.3 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Kirk received $90,450 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kirk will have already received $279,573 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
