Over 30 years of retirement, Ihle would collect as much as $1.58 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Ihle received $33,300 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Ihle will have already received $67,599 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
