Over 30 years of retirement, Simonds would collect as much as $988,213, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Simonds received $20,771 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Simonds will have already received $64,201 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
