Over 30 years of retirement, Embry would collect as much as $1.9 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Embry received $39,836 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Embry will have already received $123,129 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
