Over 30 years of retirement, Ringuette would collect as much as $3.96 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Ringuette received $83,208 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ringuette will have already received $257,187 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
