Over 30 years of retirement, Greenfield would collect as much as $838,065, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Greenfield received $17,615 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Greenfield will have already received $73,693 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
