Over 30 years of retirement, Lang would collect as much as $2.63 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Lang received $55,176 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lang will have already received $170,543 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
