Over 30 years of retirement, Bogard would collect as much as $2.6 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Bogard received $54,666 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Bogard will have already received $110,972 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
