Over 30 years of retirement, Carlisle would collect as much as $1.96 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Carlisle received $41,138 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Carlisle will have already received $218,406 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
