Over 30 years of retirement, Wendler would collect as much as $5.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Wendler received $121,001 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Wendler will have already received $642,411 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
