Over 30 years of retirement, Newell would collect as much as $368,707, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Newell received $7,749 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Newell will have already received $32,417 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
