Over 30 years of retirement, Blue would collect as much as $635,348, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Blue received $13,354 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Blue will have already received $41,277 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
