Over 30 years of retirement, Browning would collect as much as $39,398, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Browning received $828 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Browning will have already received $3,465 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
