Over 30 years of retirement, Arndt would collect as much as $839,727, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Arndt received $17,650 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Arndt will have already received $54,555 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
