Over 30 years of retirement, Carter would collect as much as $2.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Carter received $47,897 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Carter will have already received $148,045 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
