Over 30 years of retirement, Clemons would collect as much as $443,279, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Clemons received $9,317 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Clemons will have already received $28,799 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
