Over 30 years of retirement, Lawson would collect as much as $836,781, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Lawson received $17,588 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lawson will have already received $54,363 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
