Over 30 years of retirement, Fugate would collect as much as $791,371, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Fugate received $16,634 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Fugate will have already received $88,311 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
