Over 30 years of retirement, Romero would collect as much as $662,249, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Romero received $13,920 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Romero will have already received $58,237 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
