Over 30 years of retirement, Trammell would collect as much as $3.62 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Trammell received $76,112 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Trammell will have already received $235,254 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
