Over 30 years of retirement, Sullivan would collect as much as $3.91 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Sullivan received $82,204 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Sullivan will have already received $166,874 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
