Over 30 years of retirement, Eckerly would collect as much as $1.63 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Eckerly received $34,347 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Eckerly will have already received $143,693 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
