Over 30 years of retirement, Griffith would collect as much as $165,048, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Griffith received $3,469 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Griffith will have already received $14,512 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
