Over 30 years of retirement, Royer would collect as much as $768,626, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Royer received $16,155 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Royer will have already received $49,934 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
