Over 30 years of retirement, Arthur would collect as much as $1.59 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Arthur received $33,480 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Arthur will have already received $103,483 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
