Over 30 years of retirement, Hemrich would collect as much as $830,444, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Hemrich received $17,455 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hemrich will have already received $35,434 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
