Over 30 years of retirement, Salmon would collect as much as $3.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Salmon received $64,932 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Salmon will have already received $200,698 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
