Over 30 years of retirement, Tracey would collect as much as $1.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Tracey received $22,997 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Tracey will have already received $96,212 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
