Over 30 years of retirement, Shelton would collect as much as $420,996, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Shelton received $8,849 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Shelton will have already received $8,849 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
