Over 30 years of retirement, Chapman would collect as much as $350,067, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Chapman received $7,358 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Chapman will have already received $22,743 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
