Over 30 years of retirement, Maurer would collect as much as $1.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Maurer received $24,472 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Maurer will have already received $129,924 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
