Over 30 years of retirement, Philpot would collect as much as $676,585, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Philpot received $14,221 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Philpot will have already received $28,869 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
