Over 30 years of retirement, Rieck would collect as much as $3.41 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Rieck received $71,606 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Rieck will have already received $221,327 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
