Over 30 years of retirement, Jones would collect as much as $547,680, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Jones received $11,511 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Jones will have already received $35,579 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
