Over 30 years of retirement, Lawson would collect as much as $2.67 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Lawson received $56,028 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Lawson will have already received $113,737 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
