Over 30 years of retirement, Battles would collect as much as $1.33 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Battles received $27,981 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Battles will have already received $56,801 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
