Over 30 years of retirement, Holmes would collect as much as $659,532, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Holmes received $13,862 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Holmes will have already received $42,846 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
