Over 30 years of retirement, Gahlbeck would collect as much as $736,484, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Gahlbeck received $15,480 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gahlbeck will have already received $47,846 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
