Over 30 years of retirement, Andersen would collect as much as $2.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Andersen received $43,287 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Andersen will have already received $133,797 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
