Over 30 years of retirement, Witt would collect as much as $600,255, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Witt received $12,616 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Witt will have already received $38,994 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
