Over 30 years of retirement, Thumm would collect as much as $211,805, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Thumm received $4,452 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Thumm will have already received $23,640 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
