Over 30 years of retirement, Pohl 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 Pohl received $62,901 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Pohl will have already received $194,421 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
