Over 30 years of retirement, Blumer would collect as much as $51,518, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Blumer received $1,082 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Blumer will have already received $3,343 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
