Over 30 years of retirement, Novotny would collect as much as $576,100, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Novotny received $12,109 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Novotny will have already received $50,658 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
