Over 30 years of retirement, Burrell would collect as much as $821,697, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Burrell received $17,271 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Burrell will have already received $53,383 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
