Over 30 years of retirement, Oppedahl would collect as much as $1.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Oppedahl received $25,037 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Oppedahl will have already received $104,746 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
