Over 30 years of retirement, Kraus would collect as much as $2.35 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Kraus received $49,403 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kraus will have already received $100,288 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
