Over 30 years of retirement, Followell would collect as much as $1.2 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Followell received $25,309 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Followell will have already received $78,227 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
