Over 30 years of retirement, Traff would collect as much as $2.99 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Traff received $62,760 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Traff will have already received $193,985 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
