Over 30 years of retirement, Crawford would collect as much as $2.2 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Crawford received $46,255 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Crawford will have already received $142,970 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
