Over 30 years of retirement, Hegberg would collect as much as $290,316, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Hegberg received $6,102 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Hegberg will have already received $25,529 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
