Over 30 years of retirement, Malone would collect as much as $849,375, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Malone received $17,853 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Malone will have already received $55,183 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
