Over 30 years of retirement, McElhaney would collect as much as $210,270, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes McElhaney received $4,419 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, McElhaney will have already received $18,490 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
