Over 30 years of retirement, Conlon would collect as much as $1.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Conlon received $23,205 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Conlon will have already received $97,081 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
