Over 30 years of retirement, Dunning would collect as much as $870,059, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Dunning received $18,288 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Dunning will have already received $76,511 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
