Over 30 years of retirement, Brasel would collect as much as $634,846, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Brasel received $13,344 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Brasel will have already received $55,825 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
