Over 30 years of retirement, Sidebottom would collect as much as $197,938, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Sidebottom received $4,160 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Sidebottom will have already received $17,405 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
