Over 30 years of retirement, Swisher would collect as much as $861,341, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

After 3 years of retirement, Swisher will have already received $55,957 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
