Over 30 years of retirement, Strausberger would collect as much as $638,323, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Strausberger received $13,417 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Strausberger will have already received $41,472 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
