Over 30 years of retirement, Heninger would collect as much as $288,358, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Heninger received $6,061 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Heninger will have already received $18,734 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
