Over 30 years of retirement, Ericson would collect as much as $3.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Ericson received $78,156 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Ericson will have already received $158,657 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
