Over 30 years of retirement, Sutton would collect as much as $550,209, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Sutton received $11,565 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Sutton will have already received $23,477 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
