Over 30 years of retirement, Wandling would collect as much as $4.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Wandling received $84,384 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wandling will have already received $260,823 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
