Over 30 years of retirement, Ganshirt would collect as much as $1.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Ganshirt received $29,784 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Ganshirt will have already received $60,462 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
