Over 30 years of retirement, Potts would collect as much as $1.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Potts received $23,047 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Potts will have already received $46,785 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
