Over 30 years of retirement, Garay would collect as much as $347,155, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Garay received $7,296 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Garay will have already received $30,523 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
