Over 30 years of retirement, Olson would collect as much as $2.86 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Olson received $60,082 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Olson will have already received $185,707 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
