Over 30 years of retirement, Clapp would collect as much as $543,672, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Clapp received $11,427 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Clapp will have already received $35,320 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
