Over 30 years of retirement, Cheng would collect as much as $795,173, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Cheng received $16,713 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Cheng will have already received $16,713 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
