Over 30 years of retirement, Edwards would collect as much as $885,348, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Edwards received $18,609 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Edwards will have already received $37,776 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
