Over 30 years of retirement, Biggs would collect as much as $707,819, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Biggs received $14,877 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Biggs will have already received $62,239 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
