Over 30 years of retirement, Saunders would collect as much as $10.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Saunders received $227,032 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Saunders will have already received $460,875 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
