Over 30 years of retirement, Poffinbarger would collect as much as $1.79 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Poffinbarger received $37,586 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Poffinbarger will have already received $76,300 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
