Over 30 years of retirement, Hickman would collect as much as $5.46 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Hickman received $114,838 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hickman will have already received $233,121 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
