Over 30 years of retirement, Shafer would collect as much as $428,178, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Shafer received $9,000 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Shafer will have already received $37,652 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
