Over 30 years of retirement, Carnes would collect as much as $3.94 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Carnes received $82,712 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Carnes will have already received $167,905 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
