Over 30 years of retirement, Wilson would collect as much as $2.43 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Wilson received $50,992 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Wilson will have already received $103,514 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
