Over 30 years of retirement, Bunselmeyer would collect as much as $818,597, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Bunselmeyer received $17,206 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Bunselmeyer will have already received $34,928 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
