Over 30 years of retirement, Shafer would collect as much as $287,519, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Shafer received $6,043 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Shafer will have already received $18,678 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
