Over 30 years of retirement, Bodda would collect as much as $596,178, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Bodda received $12,531 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bodda will have already received $38,732 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
