Over 30 years of retirement, Banke would collect as much as $1.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Banke received $21,315 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Banke will have already received $65,882 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
