Over 30 years of retirement, Reynolds would collect as much as $2.53 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Reynolds received $53,136 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Reynolds will have already received $164,238 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
