Over 30 years of retirement, Neese would collect as much as $1.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Neese received $22,944 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Neese will have already received $70,917 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
