Over 30 years of retirement, Nowacki would collect as much as $697,611, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Nowacki received $14,663 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Nowacki will have already received $45,322 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
