Over 30 years of retirement, Bales would collect as much as $119,832, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Bales received $2,518 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Bales will have already received $10,536 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
