Over 30 years of retirement, Burks would collect as much as $642,268, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Burks received $13,500 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Burks will have already received $56,479 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
