Over 30 years of retirement, Waier would collect as much as $2.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Waier received $42,230 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Waier will have already received $224,205 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
