Over 30 years of retirement, Berg would collect as much as $517,633, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Berg received $10,880 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Berg will have already received $33,628 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
