Over 30 years of retirement, Wittenborn would collect as much as $628,429, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Wittenborn received $13,209 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Wittenborn will have already received $55,260 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
