Over 30 years of retirement, Phillips would collect as much as $1.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Phillips received $36,122 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Phillips will have already received $111,650 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
