Over 30 years of retirement, Barshinger would collect as much as $1.6 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

After 2 years of retirement, Barshinger will have already received $68,342 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
