Over 30 years of retirement, Ferrill would collect as much as $3.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Ferrill received $79,778 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Ferrill will have already received $161,949 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
