Over 30 years of retirement, Elliott would collect as much as $2.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Elliott received $51,969 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Elliott will have already received $160,631 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
