Over 30 years of retirement, Hatmaker would collect as much as $1.54 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Hatmaker received $32,374 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hatmaker will have already received $100,064 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
