Over 30 years of retirement, Zick would collect as much as $846,823, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Zick received $17,799 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Zick will have already received $55,015 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
