Over 30 years of retirement, Pottinger would collect as much as $946,223, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Pottinger received $19,888 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Pottinger will have already received $61,473 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
